Demetrice Jacobs Claims Men’s MVP of 2017 iBall Pro Combine

PG SG, 6ft 5in / 195.6cm, 195lbs / 88.4kg, New York, NY

Scouting Outlook

Demetrice Jacobsis a floor general that excels in every facet of the game. Standing 6’5″ / 196 cm, Jacobs is able to see, shoot over, and physically overpower smaller guards. Jacobs also excels in the open court, making sharp passes to teammates for easy layups or finishing fast breaks above the rim, through contact, and with an emphatic dunk.

Jacobs has great body control and uses wide and strong shoulders to create space and protect the ball when attacking the basket. He uses a great change of pace and reads the pick and roll very well, using the screen to attack the basket. When the defender goes under the screen, Jacobs reads well to knock down the three point shot. A lefty, Jacobs can also catch and shoot quickly and effectively, with consistent mechanics and range beyond 23 feet.

As a defender, Jacobs is great on and off the ball. His long arms create havoc in the passing lanes and swift lateral movement and strong upper body help him stop penetration and deflect and steal balls from the dribble of opposing guards. Jacobs’ timing, strength, leaping ability, and commitment to defense also make him a superior shot-blocker.
